I love 40! My 30’s really stunk. I was finally brave enough to get out of an abusive marriage, which turned out to be an awful divorce. Then two years later, How I did it I will never know, but I found my self in another abusive relationship, (thank god I didnt marry the creep!) we do have a child together and he was the best thing to happen to me in my 30’s. But even that split up wasnt easy either. Then I had cancer. I felt like giving up several times but I have three of the greatest boys a mom could ever have who kept me going.

Needless to say I stayed single for 4 years, I decided to give up men. But on my 40th birthday I ran into prince charming, my Dr. gave me a clean bill of health, and I joined my first spin class. Now at 41 I am happy and healthy, and I am still at the top of the hill and the world. Plus people say I look much younger. They are usually in shock when I tell them I have a 21 year old son.

And I am going to be a grandma!!! My youngest is going to be a 6 year old uncle. My middle son is 18.
